Genesis 1:5 “A Terrifying Fortelling

Hazuno was relieved to finally leave behind Mr. Kenzo as both him and this quote on quote "Brazilian model" made it to the streets of Tokyo, everyone was busy doing their own thing, some conversed with their friends or partner while others were on the phone, making up an excuse on why they couldn't come to work or chatting with a relative who's in another place at that time. Almost everyone stopped to look at this gorgeous otherworldly 'woman' as most thought 'she' was from another country, they weren't wrong though but Hazuno couldn't tell them that. Many people went up to 'her' asking for 'her' photograph while others just stated, too nervous to saying anything to this mysterious 'lady'. Even those who were taken glanced at her as some got reprimanded by their partner which would most likely be their ex-partner after this. "This couldn't get any worse…" Hazuno mumbled as the young college student now looked like both a celebrity in a scandal along with a bodyguard protecting said celebrity from 'her' many fans. As they finally get to a clothing store which was the nearest store which had the least people with almost nobody asking autographs or taking pictures from. As they entered the clothing store the store clerk came to see them but stopped once she saw the ethereal beauty which was the 'woman' as she was speechless. Hazuno knew this beautiful devil needed more face protect then he does as he got the nearest shades and face mask to hide this man's face as he payed the store clerk as she was still standing there in shock with her mouth fully wide open as they both left and finally things seemed to calm down while Lucifer was wearing this face protection as he said "Hazuno…this feels stuffy" The demon complained with Hazuno snapping at him saying "Shut up and deal with it! We already have enough to deal with!" He said as Lucifer quickly shut up and Hazuno sighs as he says "Well…what are we supposed to do? If anyone from college sees me like this I'll be made the 'satanic worshipper in my school in seconds! And this is all your fault!" Hazuno yelled in frustration as he glared at the demon king himself with Lucifer saying with a smirk under the mask as he drags Hazuno to an alleyway and takes off his sunglasses and mask saying "Well, why I wanted to come out here is because the world will end."

'The world will…end?!' Hazuno thought as he looked freaked out from the devil himself's words as he talks with a concerned look saying "What…what do you mean the world will end?!" Hazuno yelled out but Lucifer shushed him like a child as Hazuno's yelling was going to attract people as Lucifer giggles and says "Well Ryo, the world will end but not in the way you think, God will try again to cleanse the world again and I'm keeping a shield around earth which in forth made me used all my powers. This is why we need to be prepared to when this second cleanse comes if we are to survive, my powers will not hold forever as the more people believe in God the more power he will gain." Lucifer said with a smirk as Hazuno looks confused and says "Well…why does he want to cleanse the earth again?" Hazuno stammers as he still can't wrap his human brain around the fact the God he was believing in all this time was evil in his eyes. "Well Ryo, he wants to cleanse the earth so he can make a new earth, a world with no sinners and everyone believing in him. A world with no free will and removing what makes humans well…humans. An ideal world where he can rule all, and eventuallly the universe, then the multiverse, and finally reality itself, all worshipping this tyrant."

Lucifer said the last line with malice in his voice, the first time he's ever felt anger as Hazuno says "W…Well what about you? Why do you of all people want to stop it?!" Hazuno stammers out as he's both confused and enraged as in his eyes God would never do that, but in the back of his mind, it tells him that it makes sense as well. He didn't know whether to believe him or not, but with what happened to his body he decided to trust him for now. Lucifer then speaks up as he calmly says "I simply want to stop this so I can stay powerful, with free will and sin, I am eternally powerful and the only one who could have a chance to stand against God…until now." Lucifer says as his expression darkens and now he is forming a frown as he says with a solemn expression, still keeping his dignified appearance "Whenever I try to channel my power, I get burned instead. It feels like heavenly whips if they were covered in flames and burns eternally in my skin until I stop trying to use them. I tried to overcome it but the pain is too great. Now you see why I need someone to help me if we don't want the end of thy's insignificant world? I will need free will if I were to be powerful and be able to pose a challenge to God. But that's not enough as even though all humans have free will, it is little until they act upon what their heart and mind desires. If we want to keep the world at peace then I will need my powers, but I afraid it is far too late, if God were to attempt the cleanse again then…" Lucifer then went silent as Hazuno could easily piece things together as to what the devil meant. Hazuno then went silent as he put heavy thought into this and said… "If it means to protect earth then I'll team up with the devil himself, but I swear if you're lying…" Hazuno said with a bit of rage in his voice, he really didn't want this to be a lie. But Lucifer on the other hand looked…genuinely happy for once as he clasped Hazuno's hands together and got close to him as he whispered in his ear and said "If I lie to you then you can take out my tongue, is that a deal?"

"Ah…deal!" Hazuno said as he looked around to see if anyone saw them but thankfully they didn't as Hazuno felt different, he felt…relieved as he heard the devil's words coming from his mouth as he felt like he made a good choice even if it was trusting the devil himself. Lucifer opened his mouth as he whispered "In order to prepare for the end of the world we need you to get more power, correct? In about a day I have a sneaking suspicion temples will open up in the world again and one temple will be in the center Tokyo, if we sneak into the temple without raising anyone's suspicion then we might as well have a minimal fraction of our power that will be beneficial if we want to survive the cleanse." Lucifer said solemnly as he looked at Hazuno with his sky baby blue eyes but looks around again to see if he can sense anyone as he says "We might have trouble with our little expedition though as I have a sneaking suspicion some people will want the power that's in the temple for themselves, and if we come across them then we'll have to fight. It won't be a problem though as they'll be human…I hope" Lucifer said the last line with concern as Hazuno looked worried and said "What you mean 'I hope' it better be human or I might as well be dead! Is there anyone else I should worry about?!" He asked with a panicked expression under the sunglasses and face mask as Lucifer sighed and said "Oh right, since you asked you must have not been on the news when the cleanse first tried to arrive, you see there are people chosen by the twelve archangels and the seven seraphim's, some not even named, but what you do know in Christianity are the seven archangels but there were twelve before Catholic and Christianity, that being Judaism. The ones you know in your religion and who choose to be known are, Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Selaphiel, Jegudiel, Barachiel, and Jerahmeel. Those are the eight archangels I can remember, ever since I've been banished from heaven I cannot remember their names no more, it's like they erased themselves from history. But do not take it lightly although those are second ranked angels, for example Michael is God's sword and Shield, it would be a death sentence to come across him especially so early. I do not know who their champions are but I have a sneaking suspicion one lives in this city, we just don't know who yet." Lucifer says with a sigh as he let Hazuno take all this information in, Hazuno looked concerned as he was concerned that there were more archangels along with the seraphim's who he didn't even know had names but Lucifer never mentioned him as he seemed to know them at some point of his life before he was banished from heaven. Lucifer then held Hazuno's hand as he pulled him by the hand and smiled, saying "Let's go back."
